I have made this twice now and we absolutely love it!!! It has earned a place in my permanent recipe book! -
This is our sunday morning staple. i like to serve it over scrambled eggs topped w/ cheese, toast on the side. everyones fave. so easy to make, the only thing i want to point out is that the brand of sausage you use makes a difference in the flavor.

I am 30 years old. I am married and have a wonderful family. My hubbie is the greatest. We have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. Her name is Lizzie Belle. I have pics if anyone wants to see. I work for a bank in Brandon, MS. My hubbie is a police officer in Jackson. I have a great cookbook that is called "Any Blonde Can Cook". It is awesome. I love to cook...when I have the time. My family keeps me pretty busy though. I enjoy reading books, going to the movies, traveling, spending time with my family, cooking, playing with Lizzie Belle, tanning, and getting my nails done.
